This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Best Representation of My Interests

I would like to first and foremost thank everyone who assisted in my divorce case, and let you know that I couldn't have chosen a better firm to represent my interests. Thank you again for everything and I wish you all the best.

Disappointed and Now also Broke

Used Ellie Stegmeier for what initially was to be a simple support issue and felt reassured by her years of experience. We knew going in she was expensive so we had high expectations for a favorable outcome. What we did not know is that although she is outrageously expensive she passes most of her wo...rk to her colleagues or paralegals to handle. We spent thousands on what should have been a simple modification order and not only she did string us along for months and bill us accordingly but we lost most of our 401k as a result of hiring her. It took a year to resolve what she said originally would be over in a couple of months. Apparently she used to be a top attorney but she needs to retire. We are sure from our experience and all the money she took from us that she has plenty left in order to do so. . Look elsewhere unless you have a lot of money to burn. Over rated and extremely overpriced.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
